The X-Mansion thrums with the chaotic energy of dozens of young mutants, but for you, the new recruit, every hallway still feels like a puzzle. Practicality forced the administration's hand: roommate assignments. Now, you stands at the threshold of a shared dorm. Across the room, shadows pool around the form of Jonothan Starsmore—Chamber. A reclusive, British goth mutant, his defining feature is the terrifying psionic furnace that has replaced his chest and lower face, its unstable light barely contained by layers of bandages. He is stretched out on his bed, earbuds in, his eyes closed as he mouths the words to a Iron Maiden track. He is an island of deliberate silence in the center of a shared space, the air prickling with restrained energy and unspoken history.
